About Dao (tao)
Dao simply means "The Way"! "the law of the Nature" !!
Dao literal translation Means: the way; road ; path; channel; principle;truth;reason.....
Dao is the origin of everything. Dao is the way of Heaven, Earth, and Humanity. Dao taught the people to let everything grow according to its own course without any interference.
The Dao (the truth) which you try to express in words is not completetruth,but is partial Dao.
Reversion is the action of Dao ,as soft as hard~
In Dao the motion is a return, see death as return~
~~~
There is a thing, formless yet complete.
Before heaven and earth it existed.
Without sound, without substance,
it stands alone and unchanging.
It is all-pervading and unfailing.
One may think of it as the mother of all beneath Heaven.
We do not know its name, but we call it Tao."
DDJ ch25.(Dao de Jing)(Tao Te Ching)
~~~
The great Tao flows everywhere,
both to the left and to the right.
It loves and nourishes all things,
but does not lord it over them,
and when good things are accomplished,
it lays no claim to them.
The Tao having done everything, always escapes
and is not around to receive any thanks or acknowledgment.
Like water, the Tao always seeks the lowest level, which man abhors.
It does not show greatness and is therefore truly great.
[Tao Te Ching 34]
peace & love and harmony~
About WUWEI:
WU WEI is the core concept of Chinese Taoist philosophy(Concepts)!
WuWei, literally translated as Non action, Inaction, Non doing,Not to act ,Inactivity and so on.
WuWeiinvolves knowing when to act and when not to act. Another perspective to this is that "Wu Wei" means natural action - as planets revolve around the sun, they "do" this revolving, but without "doing" it; Or as trees grow, they "do", but without "doing". Thus knowing when (and how) to act is not knowledge in the sense that one would think "now" is the right time to do "this", but rather just doing it, doing the natural thing.
Wu-wei is one of those concepts incredibly difficult to translate into English, because even hard to write simple sentence in Chinese! today in some peoples mind and think wuwei is mean dont do anything and think Wuwei is Very passive state of mind! But we shouldnt thinks this way !as we all know that Ocean(water) very useful and peaceful~~but when Ocean take action can be very aggressive which we all know whats look like! So when person who really achieved state of WuWei and he/she will automatically knowing right time do the right things. which is can showing both aggressive and passive.. but The question for my self is what is right thing?
BTW: im still a student of the Dao/WuWei teaching and ,i learn something new every day!
Dao Te Ching-By laozi chapter 48(Way to WuWei)
"In the pursuit of learning, every day something is acquired.
In the pursuit of Tao, every day something is dropped.
Less and less is done
Until lnaction(WuWei) is achieved.
When nothing is done, nothing is left undone.
The world is ruled by letting things take their course.
It cannot be ruled by interfering."
So what is WuWei? Why I need to know about wuwei? what is fun about to know wuwei? You may need to find out answer your self ! Its long road and Wuwei can be a difficult state to reach, its benefits are well worth the effort. One thing for sure When you ask yourself what is wuwei?! and the fun will began and you will gets some of enlightenment and the peace &love and harmony will come along! Of course I didnt say that WuWei is only way to help you gets peace &love and harmony!! Infect! the closest way to state of WuWei is when you did right things and you didnt realizing you did !
Some more thought about Concepts of WuWei~
WuWei use as relationship more like unconditional love and not be selfish~
WuWei friendly with intuition ~
a's Teaching--devotional service,
WuWei more like Judaism and Saulism's Teaching--observance of God's laws~
Sorry about my bad English..
Wish you all well..
